For those who are really organic, you can make your own Halloween makeup from scratch...

Sophia Ruan Gushee, author of A-to-Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide To Reducing Our Toxic Exposures, has created the ultimate recipe for nontoxic DIY face paint that the whole family can have fun making together!

There are many dangerous toxicants found in conventional paints, including lead, nickel, cobalt, and chromium. This recipe is quick, easy, and a great alternative to the common varieties out there:

Ingredients
·         1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
·         ¼ tbsp all purpose flour
·         2 tbsp honey
·         ½ tbsp water
·         Natural food color (seek nontoxic products on Amazon, or use household food items that can act as natural dyes)

1.       Mix the cornstarch and flour in a bowl. Add the honey and water to your mixture. It should create a thick, gluey substance that resembles a paste. If the paint is too thin, add more cornstarch and flour. If too thick, add extra water.


      Divide the mixture into separate bowls, and add your coloring. For example, you can use turmeric for yellow, and paprika for red.


      The paint comes out a bit more thick and gooey than conventional face paints, but the colors come out beautifully and stay on for hours.


While the paint dries well, the honey component makes the paint slightly sticky to the touch. Avoid touching the paint after it is applied.

Since people are jumping on the manicure bandwagon and you need a subtle way to celebrate Halloween at the office, go Candy Corn Manicure, thanks to Lauren B.

                                                                                  
   



1.       Paint one half of the nail in white (Lauren B. Beauty in Hollywood Land) and the other in yellow (Lauren B. Beauty in Coachella Valley Sun).
2.       Apply nail art stickers (hole reinforcers cut in half). Apply two on each nail as shown below.
3.       Working with one nail at a time, paint the area inside the stickers with orange nail polish (Lauren B. Beauty in The OC).
4.       Carefully remove the stickers.
5.       Repeat on all other nails. Allow 5 minutes for your nail design to dry and finish it with a coat of a top coat (Lauren B. Gel-like Top Coat).


Now, that you're all done up, where to party and celebrate?

The Lincoln in Venice has a good sense of humor and know how to twist pop culture.

For this Halloween weekend, from Friday the 28th to Halloween, they're offering
Silent Scream!—The Lincoln’s cinematic take on Halloween features silent showings of classic and obscure horror films all Halloween weekend.



On the heels of Halloween, The Lincoln makes a play on words and pop culture.  This is their twist on Day of the Dead, celebrating the Grateful Dead on November 1st.

By the way, The Lincoln doesn't have a kitchen.  They're okay with you bringing party.  Shoot, you can throw an impromptu together there.

You can bring...



Sweet E's Halloween cake pops and of course, cupcakes, for easy, quick, last-minute treats.

Here you go, Halloween easy-pleasy.
